For Mother’s Day, Consider a Few of the Many Hats Your Mom Wears

They say a mother’s work is never done and at Halloween
Empire we agree. Moms seem to do it all – they wear a lot of hats in order to
keep the household running and every family member happy and healthy. This year
on Mother’s Day, be sure to consider the many roles she fills on a regular
basis and praise her for a job well done. So just how many roles does your mom
perform?

The Family Nurse

No one takes better care of you when you’re sick than your
Mom does. She soothes your fever, makes sure you’re comfortably tucked into bed
or on the couch, she makes you comfort foods and takes you to the doctor if you
need a prescription. She patched up your skinned knees and kissed away
boo-boos. Let’s hear it for the best nurse
in town – Mom!

Your Personal Cheerleader

No one is a greater cheerleader than your mom. She attended
all your games, she drove you to and from practices, she paid for expensive
sports gear and she cheered you on from the sidelines. She may have even
embarrassed you a few times with her excessive excitement every time you did
something, but you always knew she was there rooting for you! It didn’t matter
if it was a spelling bee or a swim meet, you knew Mom was there and was
cheering for you. You’ll never have a better cheerleader
than Mom!

Referee

Remember all those times you and your siblings were at each
other’s throats? Who pulled you apart and put you in separate corners? Who settled
your arguments and decided who was right? Who picked the winner in any of those
countless contests you had with your brother or sister? Yep! Mom had the final
say and was the best referee in the house.

Chef

This Mother’s Day, thank your mom for all those years as the household chef!

Mom could always be counted on to put food on the table, and
it was always delicious. She shopped for the groceries, made sure there were
snacks available and prepared meals that were nutritious and yummy. Having a
mom is like having your own personal chef in your
home, and most of the time we don’t realize how great this is until we move out
on our own and realize how much we miss her and those wonderful meals!

Maid

All those years you were growing up you probably didn’t worry about who was doing your laundry, washing the sheets, dusting the furniture, vacuuming and generally keeping your little corner of the world clean, fresh and deodorized. Newsflash – that was your mom, the original house maid. So when you’re scrubbing your own toilet, remember that your mom did that for you for years without a single thank you from anyone. (Until this Mother’s Day, hopefully.)

Chauffeur

Ball games, dance practices, play rehearsal, birthday
parties, the mall…there were so many places to go and things to do when you
were a kid! And mom dropped everything to haul your butt around to locations
near and far. She was your chauffeur for
years, racking up thousands of miles and picking you up at all hours of the day
and night so that you could be a social butterfly. We hope you tipped her
accordingly.

This Mother’s Day, remember the many hats your mom has worn over the years and show her how much you appreciate the years she spent making your life the best it could be. Take her out to dinner so she doesn’t have to be the chef. Chauffeur her to one of her favorite places. Offer to be her maid for the day. Do anything that will make her feel special. Whatever you choose, we guarantee your mom will love it, and you! Happy Mother’s Day from Halloween Empire!
